Trusted Reviews posits in the assessment of the Kodak EasyShare Z650 camera thai you be challenged to find another 10x zoom for a similar price. 'The Z650 is a 6.1 MP SLR-style camera with a powerful 10x Schneider Kreuznach Variogon lens. It has a list price of just £199.99, and is available online and in several High Street stores for around £157, which is remarkably good value for a camera with this specification. It’s a nice looking camera too. It is quite large, with a big comfortable handgrip, a 2in LCD monitor and an electronic viewfinder. Apart from the metal lens barrel, the majority of the body is plastic, but it feels solid and well made. The curved shape gives it an inherent strength and there are no creaks when it’s squeezed, however the card hatch does feel a bit on the flimsy side. The camera is finished in a nice semi-matt silver, with black rubberized areas on the handgrip, around the lens barrel and around the viewfinder eyepiece. It handles well, and feels very comfortable to hold.'
